10. Brian Wilson. The San Francisco Giants closer is definitely one of the strangest professional athletes out there. From his crazy stories about creatures that live inside his beard, to wearing a spandex tuxedo to the ESPYs one year, Wilson has developed a puzzling schtick that makes some people wonder if the pitcher is really funny, or just a really weird guy. Either way, he (and his beard) can always be counted on for a good laugh or two.
